A specialty that goes beyond wisdom teeth
When we think about surgery in the mouth, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the dreaded extraction of wisdom teeth. And yes, it’s one of the most common procedures. But oral and maxillofacial surgery goes far beyond that: this branch of dentistry diagnoses and treats a wide range of conditions — from bone lesions and cysts to jaw function disorders, complex dental implants, and facial trauma.
At Miravé CO., we have highly qualified specialists in oral and maxillofacial surgery, with an integrative approach that combines clinical precision, advanced technology, and human sensitivity.
When is oral or maxillofacial surgery necessary?
Unlike other dental treatments that can be resolved with conservative techniques, some situations require surgical intervention to ensure the health and function of the oral system.
The most common cases include:
- Extraction of impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth
- Placement of dental implants
- Removal of cysts or benign tumors in the oral cavity
- Orthognathic surgery to correct jaw misalignments
- Treatment of traumatic injuries (facial fractures, displaced teeth)
- Pre-prosthetic surgery to prepare the mouth before placing dental prostheses
Every patient is unique, which is why proper diagnosis is essential. At our clinic, we conduct a personalized assessment that includes digital X-rays and, when necessary, 3D scanning to plan the procedure with maximum safety.
Myths and fears: let’s talk honestly
The word “surgery” can feel intimidating. We understand. But not all interventions are invasive or require hospitalization. Many oral surgeries are outpatient procedures, done with local anesthesia and very manageable recovery.
One of the most common fears is postoperative pain. The good news is that thanks to advances in minimally invasive techniques and proper planning, the process is usually far more comfortable than patients expect. We also provide clear post-op care instructions and close follow-up that makes a difference.
Technology that enhances results
At Miravé CO., we incorporate cutting-edge technology into every step of the surgical process. From digital planning for implants to guided navigation tools, our goal is to offer more precise and safer procedures with shorter recovery times.
Using technology is not just about efficiency — it’s also a way to build trust. Knowing that every millimeter is accounted for provides peace of mind at a time when everything counts.
A human approach before, during, and after surgery
We know that even minor surgery can be unsettling. That’s why we place special emphasis on communication: we explain every step clearly, address all your questions, and make sure no one feels alone.
We also work as a close-knit, multidisciplinary team. In complex cases, we collaborate with other specialists in the clinic to ensure a complete approach — from diagnosis to full recovery.
